Chapter 489: The elder’s gift cannot be refused!
After hearing Lin Qiuyue's answer, Jia Dongming looked at Lin Qiuyu who was standing beside him with a happy face, and quickly took out a big red envelope from his pocket. He smiled and said to Lin Qiuyu, "Qiuyu! This is the red envelope your sister and I gave you. I hope that you will smile more often, achieve your dreams, and make progress in your studies in the new year!"
When Lin Qiuyu saw the red envelope in Jia Dongming's hand, she was so happy that her eyes narrowed into a line. She quickly reached out to take the red envelope handed to her by Jia Dongming, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you brother-in-law, thank you sister!"
When Lin Qiuyue heard Lin Qiuyu's thanks and thought of Lin Qiuyu's character, she reminded Lin Qiuyu: "Qiuyu! This money is for your brother-in-law to buy school supplies for you. You can't spend it carelessly."
Lin Qiuyu felt the thickness of the red envelope, and after hearing Lin Qiuyue's instructions, she quickly nodded and agreed, "Sister! I understand."
Having said this, Lin Qiuyu quickly stuffed the red envelope into his pocket, reached out to take the bag from Lin Qiuyue, and said to Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue, "Brother-in-law! Sister! Mom has been waiting for you to come back early in the morning. Let's not stay here and go home quickly!"
Lin Qiuyu carried the gift that Lin Qiuyue brought, and led Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue into the yard quickly. As they walked, they shouted to the yard, "Mom! Brother! My sister and brother-in-law are back."
Because Lin Qiuhua didn't want to see Huang Nanfang's family, he hid in his room when Huang Nanfang came. When he heard Lin Qiuyu's shouting outside the room and learned that Lin Qiuyu and Jia Dongming had arrived, he quickly put down the book in his hand and ran out of the room.
When Lin Qiuhua ran out of the house, he saw the Huang family members sitting in the main hall. Without even saying hello, he ran out of the main hall and shouted to Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue who were pushing their bicycles, "Brother-in-law! Sister! You are back."
Huang Limei knew that her children resented Huang Nanfang's family. When she saw Lin Qiuhua running out of the house, she saw Huang Nanfang and his wife without even saying hello, and ran out of the house. She said to them awkwardly: "Brother! Sister-in-law! These two children have been spoiled. Now they have become a little disrespectful. Please forgive them."
Huang Nanfang knew very well why his nephew and niece disliked him, but he could only pretend to be ignorant. After all, this was the cause he had sown in the past, and the result he received today could only be said to be his family's own fault.
Facing Huang Limei's explanation, Huang Nanfang pretended to be indifferent and replied: "Limei! This is very normal. Take Xiaoming for example. If we say one thing about him, he will come up with ten or even dozens of things to say to me and your sister-in-law."
Huang Nanfang paused for a moment and then asked Huang Limei, "Limei! I just heard Qiuyu shouting that Qiuyue is already married? When did this happen?"
When Huang Limei heard Huang Nanfang asking about Lin Qiuyue's marriage, she immediately smiled and introduced: "Brother! Sister-in-law! Qiuyue got married in August last year. His partner works in the steel mill and is a soldier who just retired from the army."
Although Huang Nanfang already knew the details of Jia Dongming from Huang Dongfang, after hearing Huang Limei's introduction, he couldn't help but praise her: "Soldiers are great!"
"Brother-in-law! Sister! You're back." Lin Qiuhua had just walked out of the house when she saw Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue pushing their bicycles. She immediately couldn't wait to greet them.
When Jia Dongming saw Lin Qiuhua running out of the house, he quickly took out a red envelope from his pocket and greeted Lin Qiuhua with a smile: "Qiuhua! Happy New Year! This is the New Year's red envelope your sister and I gave you. I hope that you will have a smooth career in the new year, find your other half as soon as possible, and have more children for your Lin family."
When Lin Qiuhua heard Jia Dongming's blessing and saw the red envelope that Jia Dongming handed to him, he quickly reached out to take the red envelope that Jia Dongming handed over, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, brother-in-law, thank you, sister. At the same time, I also wish my brother-in-law and sister a happy Chinese New Year. I hope you can work harder in the new year and strive to let me become an uncle sooner."
"Dongming! Qiuyue! You're back." Huang Limei, who was sitting in the house, led Huang Nanfang's family out of the house at Huang Nanfang's strong request. Seeing her daughter and son-in-law chatting in the yard, she immediately greeted them with a smile.
When Jia Dongming heard Huang Limei's shout, he subconsciously turned his head and saw Huang Limei, Huang Nanfang and others coming out of the house. He immediately parked his bicycle and said to Huang Limei respectfully, "Mom! Qiuyue and I are back to wish you a happy new year. I wish you good health, success in everything you wish for, and everything goes well in the new year!"
When Lin Qiuyue heard Jia Dongming's blessing, she immediately smiled and congratulated Huang Limei, "Mom! I wish you a happy new year. I wish you all the best, good health, and a long life."
Huang Limei happily took out the red envelope she had prepared from her pocket when she heard what her daughter and son-in-law said. She said to them, "Dongming! Qiuyue! I have received your congratulations. This is the red envelope I give you. I also wish you two good luck in your work and everything goes well in the new year. The most important thing is that you give me a big fat grandson as soon as possible."
"Qiuyue! Is this your date? Why don't you introduce him to your uncle?" Huang Nanfang, who was standing by, finally couldn't help but greet Lin Qiuyue after seeing Lin Qiuyue and her husband wishing Huang Limei a happy new year. When Lin Qiuyue saw the hypocritical Huang Nanfang family in front of her, she couldn't help but think of what happened that year. Facing Huang Nanfang's question, if she hadn't just heard what Jia Dongming said at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Qiuyue would have ignored these people.
But considering Huang Limei's face, Lin Qiuyue could only greet Huang Nanfang: "Uncle! Aunt! Cousin, cousin, and cousin, happy new year."
"This is my husband, Jia Dongming. He works in the security department of the steel mill. He and I came back today specifically to wish my mother a happy new year."
Lin Qiuyue stopped talking and turned to introduce Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! This is my uncle Huang Nanfang, this is my aunt Zhou Shurong, this is my cousin Huang Xiaohua, and this is my cousin's wife!"
Just now in the alley, Jia Dongming had heard from Lin Qiuyu about the feud between Huang Nanfang and the Lin family. No matter how much the Lin siblings hated Huang Nanfang's family, for Huang Limei's sake, he, as a son-in-law, had to take them seriously.
After hearing Lin Qiuyue's introduction, Jia Dongming immediately greeted the two politely, "Hello, uncle! Hello, aunt! In the new year, I wish you both good health, good luck, and smooth work!"
When Huang Nanfang saw Jia Dongming politely wishing him a happy new year, he quickly touched his pocket and said to Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue with a smile: "Dongming! Qiuyue! Happy New Year! This is the red envelope from your uncle and aunt. It's just a small token of your appreciation. Please don't think it's too little."
"Uncle! Brother Dongming and I are already working adults, so there's no need for this red envelope." When Lin Qiuyue heard Huang Nanfang's words and saw the red envelope handed over by Huang Nanfang, she did not reach out to take it, but politely rejected the red envelope from Huang Nanfang.
Huang Nanfang was not surprised by Lin Qiuyue's refusal. After all, what they did was indeed a bit excessive. But when he thought of his son's salary, although Huang Nanfang felt a little uncomfortable, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Qiuyue! No matter how old you are, in your uncle's heart, you are all children, so don't be polite to your uncle."
Huang Nanfang said this, turned his head and looked at Huang Limei standing beside him, smiled and said to Huang Limei: "Limei! Do you think what I said makes sense?"
When Huang Limei saw that Huang Nanfang only gave red envelopes to Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue, but did not give any red envelopes to Lin Qiuhua and Lin Qiuyu, she immediately realized that Huang Nanfang's sudden visit today was obviously for Jia Dongming.
Huang Limei heard what Huang Dongfang said. Although she was completely disappointed with Huang Nanfang in her heart, she smiled and said to Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue: "Dongming! Qiuyue! The elders' gift cannot be refused. Since your uncle has said so much, you should accept it!"
Jia Dongming heard Huang Limei's words and felt that Huang Limei's words were insincere. He smiled and said, "Mom! You are right. Elders give gifts and we cannot refuse them. We will accept this red envelope."
"But as the old saying goes, give and take. We accepted the red envelopes that uncle gave us, but you, uncle, can't refuse the red envelopes we give to our two children, right?" Having said this, Jia Dongming took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Huang Xiaohua's two children.
This time when Huang Nanfang came to Huang Limei's house to see Jia Dongming, he stuffed a red envelope with five yuan in it, which made Zhou Shurong feel distressed. Now seeing Jia Dongming giving red envelopes to his grandchildren, Zhou Shurong immediately shouted to the two children happily: "Xiaobao! Xiaoyu! Why don't you thank your uncle quickly."
When the two children saw the red envelopes in Jia Dongming's hand, they immediately showed happy expressions on their faces. Before Zhou Shurong could speak, the two little guys had already reached out to take the red envelopes handed to them by Jia Dongming, and thanked him in a baby voice: "Thank you!"
After Huang Limei saw Jia Dongming accept the red envelope, she immediately gave a red envelope to the two little ones, which made her feel relieved. She quickly called out to everyone, "Brother! Sister-in-law! Dongming! Let's not stand here, let's go inside and sit down."
Lin Qiuyu looked at what had just happened with disgust in her eyes. After Jia Dongming, Huang Nanfang and others entered the house, she reached out and grabbed Lin Qiuyue's arm, whispering in Lin Qiuyue's ear: "Sister! I said that this family came to our house like a weasel visiting a chicken, with no good intentions. It's obvious that they came for my brother-in-law."
